(PRICE w/o GST) - PROTRUST LED COMPACT HEADLIGHT PT-6020
The Protrust LED Compact Headlight PT-6020 is an essential lighting tool for night-time anglers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require hands-free illumination in a portable, reliable package. Designed with the specific needs of the fishing community in mind, this headlamp balances brightness, battery efficiency, and localized task lighting to ensure that no matter how dark the environment, you remain in full control of your gear.
Versatile Dual-Lighting System
The standout feature of the PT-6020 is its unique LED configuration, which caters to two very different types of lighting needs. Most standard headlamps focus purely on distance, which can be blinding when trying to tie a knot or change a lure. Protrust has solved this by incorporating a three-step changeover switch:
-
Main Mode (1 LED Ball): This mode utilizes a single high-power LED to produce 80 lumens of focused light. It is ideal for navigating dark paths, spotting structure in the water, or walking along a rocky shoreline. In this mode, the headlamp provides approximately 8 hours of continuous illumination.
-
Hand Mode (2 COB Balls): COB (Chip on Board) technology is known for producing a wide, soft beam of light rather than a harsh spotlight. This mode activates two smaller COB LEDs, providing a diffused "flood" light directly in front of the user. This is specifically designed for "hand work"—tasks like threading a line through a guide, unhooking a fish, or searching through a tackle box—where a harsh glare would be counterproductive. You can expect about 10 hours of runtime in this mode.
-
Full Light Mode (Combined): For maximum visibility, both the main LED and the COB lights can be turned on simultaneously. While this reduces the battery life to approximately 5 hours, it provides the most comprehensive lighting coverage for high-intensity situations.
Rugged and Reliable Build
Fishing environments are notoriously tough on electronics. Between saltwater spray, unexpected rain, and high humidity, gear must be built to survive. The PT-6020 features a drip-proof specification, meaning it can withstand light splashes and rain without failure. While it is not designed for submersion, it offers the peace of mind required for long sessions on a jetty or a boat.
The body is constructed from lightweight, durable plastic to ensure that it doesn't feel heavy on the forehead. Its compact size means it can be easily stored in a small pocket of a tackle bag or even a jacket pocket when not in use.
Practicality and Power
One of the most user-friendly aspects of this headlamp is its power source. It runs on 3 AAA batteries, which are widely available and easy to replace in the field. Unlike internal rechargeable batteries that can run out of juice far from a power outlet, AAA batteries allow you to carry spares and swap them out instantly. As an added bonus, the PT-6020 comes with test batteries included, allowing you to use the tool immediately after purchase.
Ergonomics for Long-Term Wear
Designed for extended use, the headlamp features an adjustable elastic headband that fits securely around most head sizes, as well as over caps or beanies. The tilt mechanism of the main body allows you to angle the light beam exactly where you need it, preventing you from having to strain your neck to see what your hands are doing.
Incredible Value
The Protrust PT-6020 offers professional-grade functionality at an entry-level price. It provides a level of versatility—particularly with the dedicated hand mode—that is rarely found in such an affordable lighting solution. For any angler in Singapore planning a night session at Bedok Jetty or a weekend trip to a kelong, this headlamp is a small investment that significantly improves safety and efficiency on the water.
